Blackbeard Private Charters, Islamorada FL

Great experience despite the weather. Didn’t see a great sunset but we did see dolphins and a manatee.

We had a great time with Captain Willy! Took us to some amazing spots, super friendly, perfect day!

Captain Willie is the finest charter captain for hire in Islamorada! Great time with friends and beautiful clean boat! Highly recommended!

Capt. Willie @ Black Beard private Charters is Top Notch!
He picked us up at our resort right on time and did what ever we wanted to do that day. He provides all the beach towels and the coolers were ready for us to fill up. We enjoyed some bar hopping along with lunch and then we hit up the sandbar for a few hours. It was a perfect day! Thanks for everything Capt!

Did this in the mid eighties. Fantastic adventure that I still talk about. I went with friends and made friends. I think our boat was the "Pirates Lady ", a single master 65 foot. Great dives and good food.

Captain Willie was extremely flexible with our charter time due to our unforeseen circumstances. We had a great time out on the water once we were able to make it out! Capt. Willie was very helpful with snorkeling equipment and making us comfortable on his boat! Highly recommend Captain Willie and Blackbeard Charters!

We’ve done several boat charters over the years and none come close to the experience with Willy! Great with the adults, kids, and other charter captain we travelled around with. Went above and beyond all day to ensure everyone enjoyed themselves, with safety first! I can’t wait for the next time we can book an experience!

Captain Willie took a group of our friends to the Islamorada sandbar for a birthday and we had an amazing experience! The boat is beautiful and well kept and Willie is an experienced, friendly, and fun captain that was attentive to all of our needs- he even turned out to be an awesome photographer haha! He took us to the best spot to watch one of the most breathtaking sunsets I’ve ever seen- a perfect ending to a perfect day. Highly recommend!

Captain Willie pretty much customized our day to meet what we wanted to do. Not only was he the boat captain but also the snorkle guide and photographer. My wife and I had a very enjoyable time and well worth the money.

100% recommend to anyone living/traveling to the keys. I drove 1 hour and 40 minutes just for the charter and it was 130% worth it!

The afternoon spent at the sandbar was perfect! The tour of the coastline on the way back was awesome as well. My family had the best time! Captain Wille and Matt were both great!

Wonderful experience, very accommodating as we were coming in from fishing and showing up a bit late. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and also use to work for the coastguard… so we felt very save. Highly recommend!

Capt. Willie was awesome! We went out snorkeling, where he explained all the local wildlife we would likely see and took some great pics for us! The water is beautiful and the snorkeling was really fun - we saw nurse sharks, barracuda, stingrays, etc, and for many it was our first time so it was really cool to see. Some of us were feeling a little seasick getting back on the boat and Capt. Willie took it in stride and got us out of there quickly and made sure we were all feeling better which we really appreciated (it was very short lived and we all felt totally fine once we were moving, bring/take Dramamine just in case). Then we had an awesome afternoon at the sandbar! He had multiple floats which was a must at the sandbar!
I highly recommend Captain Willie and Blackbeard Charters - he will make sure you always have a drink in your hand ;) and a super fun day!

Had an amazing trip with Captain Willie! The water is absolutely beautiful in the Keys. Willie's boat did not disappoint; as a former USCG he was an experienced Captain well versed on everything nautical. It was exciting to see barracudas, sharks and turtles so close. This was our second charter and already looking forward to our next trip!

We had an amazing sunset cruise with Capt. Willie! He gave us a fun boat ride and was knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time. We were so impressed we hired him again the next day for a fun filled day snorkeling and site seeing at the sand bar and Alligator Reef. We saw turtles, a barracuda, shark and plenty of fish. I highly recommend Blackbeard Private Charters! We can't wait until we return to the Keys!
